37

Thank You, Loving Impetus,
for consensus at that November lunch.
Thanks for Neighborhood Fellowship’s January launch
in Wednesday morning Bible Studies at DC CRC.
Thank You, Life Director,
for Youth Group leaders and Duff’s part in another great musical.
Thanks for Rhonda’s class song lyrics still flowing in my soul:
Friends are friends forever if the Lord’s the Lord of them
and a friend will not say never for the welcome will not end;
though it’s hard to let you go, in the Father’s hand we know
that a lifetime’s not too long to live as friends.
Thanks for Jean’s hugs and kisses easing my worries,
Mom’s depression, Gram’s pain and confusion.
Thank You, Wondrous Re-Creator,
for the watercolor class back at Calvin that summer.
